Antique Brass Tilt Teapot / Tea Kettle With Stand

Antiques : Accessories : Brass : Tilt Tea Pot

 

This is a very handsome brass tilting teapot with stand and oil reservoir. It has clean lines and an Arts and Crafts look. There are no marks to identify the maker or country of origin but it most surely dates from the 19th or very early 20th century. The handle and finial are wood. With the handle upright, the teapot on the stand is 12" high. The stand measures 9 1/4" at its broadest and the teapot is 8 ½" to the tip of the spout.

The brass in is exceptionally good condition with a great patina. There are two shallow dents in the side of the tea pot which are shown in the photos and the finial is loose. The cap on the oil reservoir does not twist off although it is possibly the remains of brass polish that is keeping it from opening. This does not detract from the great look of this lovely early tilting tea pot.
